One of my earliest memories is watching an episode of TNG with my brother. It was one of the ones with Q. Good times, those.

the only times my father and i ever bonded when i was a child were when star trek was on. He'd be his loud, angry self all day, and then come time for Star Trek, he'd grab me, make some chocolate milk, and sit me down to watch it by his side. One of my favorite memories. Star Trek is awesome. lol

Winter evenings during my elementary school years: Get into pajamas, pour apple cider into glasses, and curl up on the basement sofa, in front of the fireplace, and watch TNG with Mom and Dad. ::sniffle:: Memories...

I used to stay up late and watch TNG with my dad- good times. I watch TNG reruns all the time. I just wish original Trek was on more often. TNG is great, but there's nothing like good old Kirk, Spock and crew.

I really became a fan when I saw the The Undiscovered Country on a ferry on the way to France when I was maybe about 9 or 10 (I don't recall what age exactly, but quite young). I watched the Next Gen now and again beforehand, but that's when I really got into it. I am a child of The Next Gen :).

I got picked on at school for it of course (any many other reasons). I was called Spock by one of the bullies for years because I liked Star Trek and was studious and geeky and not cool, until he got bored of it. That was certainly the "insult" of many that bothered me the least!
